Company-law advice — Legal adviser
A company may need legal support when ownership changes, directors disagree about responsibilities or a corporate decision requires properly prepared documents. Outline the entity type, jurisdictions and proposed change without publishing shareholder records or confidential transaction details.
Service scope
Legal advice on an organisation's company structure, governance documents, ownership arrangements and corporate decisions. It is distinct from routine bookkeeping, tax advice and a filing service, although those professionals may need to coordinate on the same transaction.
What is normally included
- Governance-document review
- Advice on company decisions
- Shareholder or ownership-document scoping
- Legal support for corporate changes
What is not included
- Guaranteed regulatory acceptance
- Tax or investment advice by default
- Automatic filing authority in every jurisdiction
Typical tasks
- Identify the entity and corporate question
- Review governance material privately
- Map the proposed decision and approvals
- Prepare agreed company-law documents
- Coordinate interfaces with accounting or tax advisers
What to include in your brief
- Entity type and countries involved
- Proposed corporate change
- Number of relevant stakeholders
- Existing governance documents
- Intended decision date
Choosing the right professional
Look for experience with the entity form and the transaction being considered. Confirm who will check authority, prepare documents and arrange any filings, and distinguish legal advice on a decision from administrative submission or tax planning.
Important considerations
- Directors and shareholders may have different interests
- Corporate authority cannot be inferred from a contact person's title
- Cross-border entities may require more than one professional
